Problem injecting Heperin?
Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2010 7:35 am
I have been injecting Heperin for the last 6 days myself but about 30 minutes ago went to do it and had a problem
i pushed the needle into the lower stomach like usual but the needle was quite near the surface and slightly bent, so i only injected 0.05ml (0..6ml dose) pulled the needle out and left it for a nurse to do later today,
after the poor attempt there is a small 'blister' like mark due to the small amount of solution i injected being injected to close to the skin surface,
as i wont see the nurse till tonight - 5-6 hours time, is there anything i should do?
is it a big problem there is a small amount of Heperin in the top layer of skin appearing like a blister?
thank you
